People have attempted to describe James Blake's music in many ways—singer-songwriter, post-dubstep, and electronic soul, just to name a few. However, what is clear is that Blake has carved out a distinct sound in today's musical landscape, pairing his crooning vocals with stark, sparse electronics to create music that is all his own. After making waves with his 2011 debut "James Blake," he is touring on his highly acclaimed second album "Overgrown."
